Placenta previa and bleeding for 5 weeks non stop

I started bleeding at 12 weeks and last week was finally diagnosed with mariginal placenta previa. Had 3 ultra sounds and the baby is doing well. As of today I'm 17 weeks and continue bleeding fresh and red blood each time I go to the bathroom. MD said that it may continue through the entire pregnancy. I also experience a lot of abdominal pressure and pain at night time for about 30 min before it goes away.
I'm really concerned about premature delivery. Any advise???

OMG! I am so happy to read this, I mean I am sorry that you are experiencing this or did experience it, but I am going through the EXACT same thing, been bleeding for almost three weeks, and have cramping on and off throughout the day and then by night time it gets quite intense, I would love to hear how you are doing, and what sorts of things you found helpful....if I am calculating correctly you are due in early May so wrapping things up!! Seriously, any advice you have would ease my mind so much....I had ultrasound last Thursday and as of today am 17 weeks as well....the pain scares me more than the blood as it is, well, painful. I hope all is going well for you now, you can either respond on this or even email me at katie.schuminski@gmail.com.
Thanks and best of luck in the rest of your pregnancy!!
